The Novice:A New York Times Bestseller
"Similarities to Tolkien's
Lord of the Rings books, Pullman's
His Dark Materials, and Rowling's Harry Potter [series] are unmistakeable, but reader won't mind . . . . The appealing characters, fast-paced plot, focus on racial politics, and interesting demon varieties . . . . make this an enjoyable read." --
School Library Journal"This plot-based fantasy adventure will be a satisfying read for a wide age range of readers, especially fans of role-playing games and Christopher Paolini." --

The Inquisition:
A New York Times BestsellerA Publishers Weekly Bestseller
"Matharu offers a...story with continuous action and occasional gross-out humor; its worldbuilding is a cheerful mishmash of geography, chronology, and mythology blending guns, magic, and exoticized indigenous tropes...A fast-paced, familiar tale with strong echoes of Tolkien, Pullman, and
Pokémon." --
